Prior to installing wiring to the telephone entry system, we suggest that you become familiar with the
instructions, illustrations, and wiring guidelines in this manual. This will help insure that you installation
is performed in an efficient and professional manner. This telephone entry system contains a number
of static sensitive components that can be damaged or destroyed by static discharges during installation
or use. Discharge any static prior to removing the circuit board from the lobby panel by touching a
proper ground device.
The wiring of the telephone entry panel is an extremely important and integral part of the overall
access control system. Use proper wire for the communication line, power wires, and be sure
that the system is properly grounded. Check all local building ordinances and building codes
prior to installing this system. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local codes.
Use only the supplied transformers (or U.L. listed equivalent) to power the telephone entry system (16.5
VAC, 20 VA). Do not power any other devices (electric strikes, magnetic locks, etc.) from this power
transformer. For wire runs up to 100 feet, use 18 AWG, 600 volt insulated wire. For wire runs up to
200 feet, use 16 AWG, 600 volt insulated wire.
•
Use 18 AWG wire for power runs up to 100 feet.
•
Use 16 AWG wire for power runs up to 200 feet.
•
Surge protection is recommended. Use DKS P/N 1878-010 or equivalent.
•
Use only twisted pair wires for phone line wiring. 24 AWG for up to 800 feet; 22 AWG up to
1600 feet.
•
Electric strikes, magnetic locks, etc., must be powered by a separate power transformer.
•
Lobby panels are powered from a separate power transformer.
This telephone intercom system requires the use of RJ71 phone blocks. One RJ71 must be ordered
for every 12 phone lines (or fraction there of) that the 1816 will interface with. Complete the RJ71 block
identification form(s) in the back of this manual. This is very important as it instructs the phone company
installer how the phone lines should be wired to the RJ71. Be sure that the phone company installer
labels the blocks. Each block should be numbered, and the telephone number and apartment number
for each block should be documented (see example on page 12). When the phone company installer
has completed the RJ71 block identification form(s), attach the form to the inside of the 1816 cabinet
for future reference.
The RJ71 wiring configuration is not recognized by all telephone companies. For Bell Canada (Ontario,
Quebec), refer to CA-79X block for interconnection to the 1816 system. For BC Tel (British Columbia),
refer to BC Tel CRTC Spec 182 B5.
Lobby panels come with their own wiring diagrams. The only connection between the 1816 and the
lobby panel is a twisted pair telephone wire.
